The news said that John Kerry owns land where there is a zinc mine, and that the zinc mine has a history of causing massive pollution. Zinc is a poisonous heavy metal. Apparently John Kerry has announced plans to reopen the mining on his property.

No. I'm more worried about what the cretin might do as a Senator, Representative, or whatever, then as a land owner.

John Kerry has continuously been a jerk and could continuously be a jerk. the unhappy concern is that as quickly as the 527 classified ads got here out from the speedy Boat Veterans, McCain DEFENDED Kerry at a press convention. Kerry won't be in a position to additionally be good to McCain. What a schmuck! No, Kerry cares approximately Kerry. He would not supply a flying rat's @ss related to the country or all human beings else. He loves being on television by way of fact the "expert" on presidential elections and an Obama surrogate. no one has given a sh^t approximately the rest he's had to declare for the final 4 years. and you're splendid. Obama is sending SURROGATES out to do his grimy artwork. Then he stands there and says that HE would by no ability question all and sundry's patriotism - on an analogous time as he's have been given Wes Clark and a few human beings doing it for him. Who me?

i think you should confirm the story. lately there have been alot of lies perpetrated as supposed news. for example, Fox News had a running story that Barak Obama attended a madrassa (terrorist school) whgich was a lie, but even so the Fox news channel allowed the story to continue before dropping the story. I searched but can't find any credible source regarding your claim. I did find the sasme story but it was a different potential democratic presidential candidate instead of Kerry, so the story is probably BS

"What is the importance of Zinc for health?
Zinc is essential for human health. It is vital for many biological functions such as disease resistance, wound healing, digestion, reproduction, physical growth, diabetes control, taste and smell. Every cell in the human body requires zinc to multiply and more than 300 enzymes need zinc for proper functioning.
What are the effects of Zinc Deficiency?
The World Health Organization's "World Health Report 2002" estimated that one-third (33%) of the world's population is at risk of inadequate zinc intakes. The effects of zinc deficiency may be severe, ranging from impaired neuropsychological functions, growth retardation and stunting, impaired reproduction, immune disorders, dermatitis, impaired wound healing, lethargy, loss of appetite and loss of hair.
Zinc deficiency in agricultural soils is also a major worldwide problem - affecting , both crop yield and quality. Severe soil zinc deficiency can cause complete crop failure whilst losses of up to 30% can occur in yield of cereal grains in crops such as wheat, rice and maize as a result of even mild deficiencies."
